UPACCESS

static final String UPACCESS

String to label variable up context access. I.e. _$index, look for first index access, if found, move context down an look for the occurrence.

Method Detail

getSources

Deque<ISource> getSources()

Queue of sources. On file inclusion this queue is changed according and is used to avoid cyclic dependency.

Returns:

The queue.

getCurrentSource

ISource getCurrentSource()

Get current source.

Returns:

The top source.

getRunner

IRunner getRunner()

The runner related to the context.

Returns:

The runner.

saveGlobal

void saveGlobal(String global,
              Object obj)

Saves a variable with the given name to the global context (outermost block).

Parameters:

global - The variable name.

obj - The value.

clearGlobal

void clearGlobal(String global)

Removes a variable name from global context.

Parameters:

global - The variable name.

saveLocal

void saveLocal(String local,
             Object obj)

Saves a variable with the given name to the local context. The local context is defined as the immediate parent of the current node.

Parameters:

local - The variable name.

obj - The value.

clearLocal

void clearLocal(String local)

Removes a variable name from local context.

Parameters:

local - The variable name.

saveStrict

void saveStrict(String name,
              Object value)

Save the value to the current context peek, no matter what type of node it is.

Parameters:

name - The name.

value - The value.

clearStrict

void clearStrict(String name)

Clear the context peek mapping from name.

Parameters:

name - The name.

saveScoped

void saveScoped(String scope,
              String local,
              Object obj)

Saves a variable to the given scope.

Parameters:

scope - Indicates where to bind the value, i.e. when saveScope("body","name","value") is used in a "span" tag, this method searches for the "body" backward tag to add variable.

local - The variable name.

obj - The value.

clearScoped

void clearScoped(String scope,
               String local)

Removes a scoped variable.

Parameters:

scope - The scope to unbound.

local - The variable name.

getByElement

IBlock getByElement(Class<? extends nu.xom.Node> type)

Search a block by element type.

Parameters:

type - The type.

Returns:

The nearest block that matches the type.

getParentByElement

IBlock getParentByElement(Class<? extends nu.xom.Node> type)

Strict parent search by element type.

Parameters:

type - The type.

Returns:

The nearest parent block that matches the type.

getByPlugin

IBlock getByPlugin(Class<? extends IPlugin> type)

Search a block by plugin type.

Parameters:

type - The type.

Returns:

The nearest block that matches the type.

getParentByPlugin

IBlock getParentByPlugin(Class<? extends IPlugin> type)

Strict parent search by plugin type.

Parameters:

type - The type.

Returns:

The nearest parent block that matches the type.

hasName

boolean hasName(String name)

Check if name is present in context.

Parameters:

name - Context.

Returns:

true, if present, false, otherwise.

getByName

Object getByName(String name)

Search a value by its name, from the most restricted block to the outermost (i.e. the root XML element).

Parameters:

name - The name.

Returns:

The nearest block that matches the type.

getParentByName

Object getParentByName(String name)

A strict parent search a value by its name, from the most restricted block to the outermost (i.e. the root XML element).

Parameters:

name - The name.

Returns:

The nearest block that matches the type.

getObjects

Map<String,Object> getObjects()

A map of all objects in context. Names are resolved from most specific to most general.

Returns:

The naming mapping for this context.

addMetadata

void addMetadata()

Add metadata from block context.
